No...just a $)@#+@!! of a lot of wiring and you'll have to figure a
way to mount the second board.  Let me explain:

If you fgo to the EAR site, click for a  picture of the 24, then click
on that picture once it loads, this may help with this post


There are two boards to the 24.  One hold the microp, the two VC LFOs
which drive the microP pulse output engines and two VCAs which gate
the digital noise (translated to the faceplate as 'Deviation".  The
five pots which are on onbe row on the faceplate are mounted to that
board.

The second board holds the two sample and holds, the smooth output VC
slew, the two MEAN processing circuits and the output buffers for
everything..and...the line of eight jacks found in the middle of the
odule are mounted to the board. That's the only vehicle that holds
that board in place - the jacks that you would want to replace.

The rest of the panel controls, Chaos and Deviation VC Atten, the
output jacks and the two LEDS are hard wired to the second board via
strategically placed pads.

Now,  possibly, if you replaced those stranded wires going to that
harwired row with rigid busswire, then, possibly, it would be enough
of a structural support to allow the second board to sort of suspend
itself...but i dont't think this would be a wise move to depend on
alone, especially if you're planning on gigging.  Drilling holes in
the two boards to retrofit some PCB spacers is not an option...those
boards are very densly populated with traces.
